I have implemented UILocal Notification using the following link

Answer 1

The API for UILocalNotification is very limited in this regard - you'll have to manually schedule 4 events repeating weekly on the days that the user selects.

An example of scheduling a repeat timer for monday would look like this

NSDateComponents *dateComponents = [[NSDateComponents alloc] init];
dateComponents.weekday = 2; // sunday = 1 ... saturday = 7
dateComponents.hour    = 10;

UILocalNotification *notification = //...
notification.repeatInterval = NSWeekCalendarUnit;
notification.fireDate       = [calendar dateFromComponents:dateComponents];

The day numbers can be found in the NSDateComponents Class Reference
