Neat little app but has a big flaw in my opinion

This app is easy to understand and can be useful. The big flaw that I see with the app is that it allows 1-24 for for hours and 1-60 for minutes. These should be 0-23 and 0-59.

It would be nice to be able to set activation parameters too and choose between the friendly label and time tag label:
@reboot or run at boot and reboot only
@yearly or 0 0 1 1 *
@annually or to 0 0 1 1 *
@monthly or 0 0 1 * *
@weekly or 0 0 * * 0
@daily or 0 0 * * *
@ midnight 0 0 * * *
@ hourly 0 * * * *

Since this is an iOS app the @AppleNotOnBattery prefix could be mentioned too.
