[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 can't believe that the idea of sleep timers has been disgust sense 2012 and it still has not been incorporated into the app. I really enjoyed my Spotify account and I listen to it all day but at night when I get ready to go to bed I have to revert to Pandora just because it has a sleep timer.

This is such an important feature that I am considering dropping my Spotify account and opening paid Pandora account.

I really, really love Spotify, but the only reason I haven't upgraded is because of the whole sleep timer thing! I would love to be able to go to sleep without worrying about my music being on at 3 in the morning. It's not loud, but I'd just prefer to have a sleep timer on. So Spotify people, it's almost mid 2017, why not add a sleep timer already? Keep up, you're lacking. This is a very popular subject and you still won't listen to the people... #PowerToThePeople

Pandora has a sleep timer. The music on Spotify is much better. It's why I switched. The indifference to address the numerous sleep timer requests is troubling. Why?

Im on an android and i would still appreciate a sleep timer on the app. I like yo go to sleep with music or podcast and sometimes it wakes me up in my sleep. Really annoying !!!!!

Would love a sleep timer. I specifically use google play for this when I am going to sleep but would much rather prefer spotify if the option was available!

Really good idea !! I was thinking to ask the community or post ! I am currently listening to the Sleep playlist from Spotify and I wish I could fall asleep and the music would turn off in 4 or 5 songs on its own so I don't have to do it and face my phone's light which would alter my sleeping phase ! Hope to see this feature soon on Spotify !

I personally would use Spotify much more if it had a sleep timer in it. I would use it every night. For the moment, I use Pandora for that, but that could change. I actually prefer Spotify, since there is a lot more control, even on a free account. With the addition of a few new features, Spotify could become my default music player.

Much agreed.
