How can I set my reminders to repeat until I dismiss them?

Kind of stuck here, I am consistently missing appointments and reminders because I am reminded one time of the event, which disappears after I opened the phone to my main screen. Ideally I want a reminder to continually remind me, or stay there incessantly until I dismiss it manually.

This was a great feature of my android phone, and the only thing I really miss about that phone. Given that I have missed significant and important appointments because of this flaw, I may have to dump the iPhone and go back to my crappy android.

Is there any app or workaround to prevent this from happening, or to remind me incessantly until I dismiss it manually?
