I wonder why the site don't allow you to set your own time and increment. I wanted to play a 5 minute game with a 3 second increment, but no option; other sites allow you to set your own time control.

Select the "More" option when selecting the time control.  There, you can set your custom time control.

The app does not have custom time controls as of right now (at least for iOS). Only the website has custom time controls. 

Edit: They do have custom time controls, but no ultrabullet or games over 60 minutes

A good point for clarification;  The screenshots I just posted were Android.

Visit the app in the Play Store to make sure you don't have an update pending.

Yeah, actually iOS does have custom time controls. The one thing is that it doesn't allow games under a minute or over an 60 minutes, but it does have a custom function.
