Time Zone Drop-Down List – A Painful User Experience

Summary

We use lot of apps in our day to day life and when we sign-up for any new apps, selecting the time zone in the drop-down list is a big pain and should be replaced with something easy.

Problem

When you sign-up for a new web app, most of the time you will need to select your time zone. If you are in list of first few than you are lucky, otherwise you end up scanning each item through the list of time zones which is really a painful experience.  For example you are in Rome it’s very difficult to find your time zone in the list.
