[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.

Pandora has a sleep timer with 15, 30, 45, and 60 minute settings so your aren't playing music all throughout the night saving your phone some struggle. That is why I usually end up using Pandora over Spotify at night. If this were to be implemented I wouldn't even keep the Pandora app on my phone as then Spotify would be fully superior

Hi Nathan
I used to exclusively use Pandora. Pandora had free data with my mobile plan. Used the sleep timer nearly every night.
Unfortunately Pandora has been cancelled in Australia. I can't access it at all. Great suggestion though.

I hear podcast at night until sleeping and I'm missing the sleep timer. So I can only hear at the day 😞

Would really love to see this implemented to play from my favourite playlist to sleep and have my favourite music when I wake. This would be an amazing feature to have in the app.

I've just got spotify and the first problem I have on the app is definitely the non-existence of SLEEP TIMER.

This would be totally awesome if you guys can make it happen.

Yes. A sleep timer would be very helpful.

Please, bring this feature to mobile devices. It should be like no. 1 in the ranking 😊

5 years since starting the thread. 2,500 votes and nothing happens. This is a simple feature. Time to bring it now.

I really like this idea, I don't want my phone playing all night long. I started listening to beach sounds to fall asleep too and if my 3 year old son is having trouble falling asleep I give him music. I searched and searched to find a way the app would automatically close or music would stop after a selected time, then found that doesn't exist. Not going to delete Spotify, just really wish my boyfriend didn't have to listen to beach sounds and our older daughter didn't have to listen to lullabies all night long. Please make this happen!!
