I think thats more a problem for the developer than the OS, maybe you should mail them and ask why they didnt add it? I suspect time restraints or lack of developer know-how.
I had another one that could do this, lost the name, but I uninstalled it in favor for the Official app as the one that could set alarms, UI sucked as well as the live scores was not so live.
Thanks. There's only a 3 weeks left, but I'll give it a try and mail them.
Yeah, the other one I had as well and also uninstalled. It was the Sports Illustrated app (http://is.gd/6dIUWp) but it was a pain in the ass. I set it to remind me about the SA vs Nam game on Thursday...it's been reminding me about it ever since, random times, I get a notification reminding me that the game is about to start in 10 minutes, even though the game was played and finished 2 days prior. Very annoying. Uninstalled last night actually.
