Hello,
as the ioS calendar is only able to remind you of an apointment once, I'd like to have a solution that sends me two reminders: One shortly before the event and the other one the day before so that I can eventually prepare what is necessary for the apointment. Do you know of an app that provides this feature and is accessible with VoiceOver?
Thanks so much for your help!

Can be done
The native iOS calendar will actually let you set two reminders for an event, but I believe that this is only available when editing an existing event, not when initially adding it.
can be done on first try
once you set the first reminder, and go back to the page with the other details of the event, it gives you the option for the second reminder. i think it calls reminders alerts. but you can only do two, and it gives prescribed times you can set alerts, with no place to make custom time intervals. i have discovered you can get around that using siri, and can set custom time amounts for reminders.
Thanks for letting me know
Thanks for letting me know about the opportunity to add an extra reminder to an apointment in the standard iOS calendar app. In fact, this doesn't work for apointments that are synchronized with an Exchange server. So I can't be reminded the day before of an apointment from work.
The only "solution" would be to create an apointment for let's say Monday that refers to an apointment on Tuesday. As this is quite a bit of work and definitely will lead to misunderstandings, I'd like to use the reminder app to remind me of calendar events one day in advance. I tried to do it with Siri which actually didn't work at all. Is there an exact formulation I could use to accomplish this?
