I'm not sure you can do anything about this, but here's what happened to me while evaluating ToodleDo:

I wanted an alarm to go off every day at 9:21 AM. I set a task to repeat daily. The alarm went off fine the first time, but not the next day.

I finally realized that unless I completed the task, it wouldn't repeat--the alarm wouldn't go off.

That's a reasonable way to do things, but realize that some users may think the app is buggy due to that behavior.

Yes, if the task is due yesterday at 9:21 then the alarm will not go off today. An alarm only goes off once.

If you want the alarm to go off every day at 9:21, then you need to have the task be due every day as well. You can do this by making the task a daily repeating task that has the "optional" setting, which will automatically move it forward to the next day even if you didn't complete it.
