Hi @DrMarcusBrow, welcome to the Sonos Community!

Sleep timers are not currently in the Sonos App for iOS or Android and will return in a future update, however you can still create them with the desktop app.

To create a sleep timer, please use Windows or MacOS desktop app as a temporary workaround. Steps to do so are listed on our Set a sleep timer on Sonos support article.

I hope this information helps!

No it doesn’t - you’ve gone backwards.

Ditto. Why fix an app that worked perfectly well while removing one of its key functions? That’s the opposite of improvement folks. Isn’t a big part of the idea behind Sonos the degree of freedom it gives you? And now I have to go to my desktop to set a sleep timer? Pathetic.

Very cross at this update. The sleep timer is the key feature we use and you’ve removed it with no warning. Very, very poor customer service.

I'm dismayed at this feature not being there. Instead of being able to pull myself to sleep, I now have to get up to go to my home office and set a sleep timer? How did this make sense when the app redesign was being discussed? 100% of people would use their phone - the device next to them when going to bed - to set the sleep timer

No sleep timer in new app!  Why? I can no longer use my system as I want. I will not be making any further purchases from you or recommend your products until this is rectified.

I agree with other commenters. Removing the sleep timer is a mistake. Bring it back please.

Seriously Sonos!! I just purchase my first Sonos device two weeks ago and started enjoying the app and now you have taken away features I just started enjoying. I'm definitely sharing my negative experience with everyone I know.

The new app sucks!

The new app sucks! 

I see no improvements of any kind, not to mention the ridiculous removal of the sleep timer. The app has never loaded well, it still doesn’t. My primary favorites are suddenly buried and when I try to play stations, really the only radio station I tune in theses days, it balks and balks and I have to keep attempting to open it. And it says a LOT, that we can assume the programmers who redesigned the app are NOT Sonos users, or they would’ve actually IMPROVED the app instead of making worse than ever.
