State Farm® Software

When the “new and improved” version 6 redesign came out earlier this year, it initially looked visually impressive, but really missed the mark on usefulness and functionality. For someone with multiple financial and insurance products, it was a pain to use due to all the clicking and swiping required to get to any information. I actually stopped using the app in favor of the website. This new version 7 has me completely impressed. It feels like a second stab at the redesign, and this time I think the developers nailed it. I am actually able to see an overview of all of my banking and insurance products on the “Overview” screen. I also can easily get to and see the details of any one account. I’m also impressed with how fast The app returns information every play. It’s very responsive. There is some functionality you will still need to use the website for, like transferring money to external accounts, or seeing mortgage details, but I think every common activity I would need to perform can be done in this app now. It also still does not support landscape mode in this version. Thanks to the developers for listening to customer feedback! I like the app again!

I’ve been with State Farm for nearly 20 years. First my car, and then my home. I’ve added to my coverage over the years and “added” my family as well. My Parents, my Sister, and two cousins and their families all have State Farm now. I had insurance with another big company for 8 years and it was good. But I didn’t get the support I get from State Farm and my 2 agents (my 1st retired.) I had a bad accident 18 years ago, and It wasn’t clear at first that it wasn’t my fault, the company was supportive and paid for my car and a lawyer and never treated me like a liability. And they didn’t find a reason to get rid of me either. That meant a lot to me during such a stressful time. I trust them to be there if I need them like that again. (Knock on Wood.)

Third update: So State Farm updates their app and now it tells me I don’t have any linked bank accounts from which to pay? State Farm’s process for being able to pay from a non-State Farm bank account sucked to begin with (why go through the process of linking a bank account, which you have to do from the website, when others require only entering the account info you’re paying from in their app?), but I was willing to give State Farm Banking the benefit of the doubt, not anymore. This app and the non-intuitive website frustrate me enough I will most likely never finance anything with them again. Back down to 1 star and app deletion. Second update: was finally able to make a payment to my vehicle loan using the app, upgrading to 5 stars. Update: I can now see the loans I have through State Farm Bank but can’t use the app to pay them. Until I can actually view AND pay on all my bills (insurance and loans) through the app it will only rate one star; what’s the point of having the app if you have to go to the website to pay on the loan? Deleting the app since I have to use the website to access State Farm Bank, which this app should support.
