I can't say for Android, but alarm is usually quite sucky on iOS as well. I've set it up to be recurring though, and I haven't had these annoying issues for months. If you're a developer and have the time and effort required, you could always root/jailbreak your phone and fix the issues you have for yourself. EDIT: it is also likely that people have already solved it, or made tools that can solve it. I know people are already running cronjobs on their iPhones, there's even an scheduling automation app and so on.
