Superuser Contribution Sleep timer gone on iPhone

I can no longer find the sleep timer option on iPhone app. Saw that the Android version was missing this now, too. Is this what others are experiencing? I'm headed back to Pandora for now until Spotify fixes this.

Superuser Contribution App won't even open. When I click on it, it just stays at the Home Screen.

I have re-downloaded the app many times and turned off my phone. I am on a family plan and the other members accounts are working just fine.
