[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 really hope that a sleep timer is added as a feature of the iOS app soon.

Still no sleep timer, eh?🎶😴 That would be a great feature (not extra complex to develop, I guess). Others,  such as TuneIn, have the functionality for ages now.

I recently moved back to Spotify on a family premium plan.  We agree, a sleep timer/alarm feature (for android too) would be great. Some of us switch to another app for when we sleep as it has those features. Come on spotify people, put it higher on your "need to do" list.

**bleep**! I use the music to fall sleep to like every night and it's a real pain without the sleep timer because you have to wake up and shut it off… Please oh please add this feature back

Haven't read all 38 pages but is there a reason why this has not been implemented after 4+ years of people asking. If so, please share.

I just started using this app and really enjoy falling asleep to your app but realized you do not have a sleep timer.. I wish your app had one..I really enjoy your app and think it would be a great addition to your app!!

Spotify please add a sleep timer! I would love to listen to you music before bed.

I used to have mp3s set up as alarm tones back in the day. Would be great to be able to wake up to fantastic music.

I'm really curious about how a simple feature with almost 2000 votes hasn't been implemented in over 4 years. It just makes it look like it's about "juking the stats" even though I don't understand how it's in Spotify's interest that people stream continuously while they're sleeping.

 

I'll put on Spotify and the speakers will turn themselves off after 30 minutes but spotify will stream for the next 8 hours unless I'm mistaken. If that's what Spotify wants, at least just tell us.

 

It's just really strange that Spotify refuses to add a sleep mode
