Question

Need an alarm and not reminder for alternate weeks

I turn my phone to Do Not Disturb so only alarms wake me up and not reminders. I do not want reminders waking me up. Can I set an alarm to come on every other Friday at 8:00 a.m.? I now in the past I had this setting but I deleted it by accident and now I cannot figure out how to do it? There are apps that do it, but I don't know that they would wake me up with the phone set to Do Not Disturb. I am on iPhoneX

Thank you!

iPhone 6s Plus, iOS 10.3.3

The settings in Alarm will allow you to set one for specific days of the week, but only repeat weekly, not alternate weeks. you may wish to check the App Store for other alarm apps, and you may find one that allows better controls for repeats. There are plenty of alarm apps in the App Store. Find one that meets your needs.

Alarms will ring when Do Not Disturb is turned on. So my guess would be that an app that is classified as an alarm would ring when DND is set. Download one and test it.

I don't know how I did it, but I had it for years. Woke me for recycling Fridays for literally years. I really am amazed that the alarm seems to have so few choices unless I am missing something. Is there a way to set up the alarm on the computer that rings on the phone?

Thank you. I am boggled. I'll send out a separate question to ask if anyone knows an App that will ring if Do Not Disturb is set.
