[All Platforms] Sleep Timer

I am a new user to Spotify from NZ and the first thing I miss having moved from iphone's built in music player is the sleep timer. I understand this feature stopped working in one of the recent versions of spotify App. If it is a compatibility issue partly related to iOS 5, may I suggest that you build a sleep timer into the App itself

 

Also, as suggest by one other Spotify user, Nyx, it would be even better if you could include an alarm featuer so we can all wake up to our favourite playlists within Spotify.

 

Thanks again for all the great work you guys are doing and we really hope you would consider this new idea.

 

Cheers

Update: The issue with sleep timer seems to be working in iOS 8.

I agree. I use Spotify all this time,except when going to sleep, when I switch to Pandora ( which also has an alarm feature) I don''t like double paying and will not use the free service. I am considering canceling Spotify even though it is otherwise a superior service. Surely if Pandora can provide this service for half the cost Spotify can install a fix. Dfc

Spotify, please add a sleep timer & alarm clock like Pandora's! 👍🏼

I find it amazing that an app I pay $10 a month for doesn't have a sleep timer, but free apps like iHeartRadio, Pandora, and Lightning Bug all do. It seems like such a basic feature, and would be very helpful. Personally, I could do without the alarm, but the sleep timer would really help me at night when I need some noise to go to sleep to. Thankfully I have Lightning Bug.

Please add a sleep timer, Spotify!

This should be implemented immediately, I don't want my tab to play music the whole night when I'm asleep already!
