State Farm® for Negative User Reviews

Flawed Criteria & SensorsThis app has several very aggravating flaws. 1) unsafe acceleration - it seems that the app interprets transmission downshifting to be excessive or unsafe driving. Automobile manufacturers have gone to transmissions with more gears than in the past. By having closer gear ratios they have been able to increase mpg despite the smaller 4 & 6 cylinder engines. It is exasperating to be dinged for acceleration when, in reality, the actual is acceleration is pathetic! If you are driving a high powered vehicle where extreme acceleration or squealing the tires was possible this might make sense. In many of today’s vehicle rapid acceleration is not even possible! 2) unsafe braking - the app is structured based on the assumption that applying brakes even slightly more than normal is caused by following other vehicles too close. Once again it is very disturbing to stop for a yellow traffic light rather than drive through the light as most drivers do then be dinged for excess braking! 3) unsafe cornering - the app also deems fairly normal cornering to be unsafe and dings you for that! State Farm needs to update this app to address these issues or risk people dropping the app because of its flawed programming logic. Are these devices calibrated this ensuring consistency?.Version: 9.15.0

I guess this is an appThis app is such a pain to me honestly. There have been several times where I enter the correct login info and it tells me it’s wrong so many times that I’m locked out of my account, then I call and go through the whole process of resetting a password, only to be locked out (for “security purposes”) for days still anyway. And half the time I actually DO get into my account, I’m unable to pay my insurance bill because they say my card is declined over and over, until I finally give up and call, and then use that same exact card to successfully pay my bill over the phone. So really there is basically no point to even having this app, except the one time ever that I used roadside assistance. Which I guess it worked well for that, but it would be NICE to have a convenient way to pay my dang bill which is why I installed this app in the first place.Version: 7.8.0

Work in ProgressThey seem to be slowly getting it right. On the past offensive and not customer centric. A couple of months ago, I got a notice that a discount was being canceled because I hadn’t update my mileage. It turned out I’d gotten *one* email two weeks earlier while I was out of the country — no notification in the app of any dealing. Just nuts. Another nutty feature: if a payment is late (but policy not cancelled) they remove it from the app. Hello?? Also, user authentication not aligned with State Farm website. Given the plague of passwords, just what we need. But I see today that they’ve added text alerts recently. Hopefully the implementation was guided by someone new in the organization who understands the point of these apps is to make life simpler for State Farm customers, not more difficult or annoying..Version: 7.22.0

I NEED to be able to see MY COMPLETE HISTORY..Of payments and policies by car and by chronological order I have a couple cars with State Farm and a couple motorcycles all on different plans and I can’t easily go look at each one and immediately pull up my policy or my payment history for the last few YEARS ! Really it all to give me the entire history since I’ve had a vehicle with State Farm ! Even IF it goes back 10 years - WHY can’t I see that ?!? all I can go to see the current bill and maybe what I paid in the last 12 months or so and then it goes disappears. Well, the app does it does well - It’s pretty good at showing me a current insurance card. it’s VERY GOOD at taking my money ! But again, what about my payment history ? or my vehicle insurance history? It’s unbelievable to me I have the State Farm credit card AND the State Farm app and I can’t QUICKLY & easily go pull up a copy of any of my policies.. or that I CAN’T at any time, go pull up a COMPLETE HISTORY on any vehicle I’ve ever had insured with you guys. That to me is RIDICULOUS and needs to be changed ! The credit cards even worse ~ it’s worthless. It gives you a little bit of Rewards not much but you can’t pull up anything to do with State Farm policies or it doesn’t even tell me which payment goes with which policy . . It should at least break that down on the payment history ! all it says is payment made for $xxx. USELESS !!!.Version: 9.39.0

Definitely more sensitiveLike others have mentioned, the app has definitely gotten more sensitive recently. I've noticed that it dings me for cornering when making a turn after being fully stopped at a red light. It seems that it thinks going from 0 to 23 mph as you're turning is considered cornering when in reality it isn't. It doesn't take much to get to that speed when you step on the gas just to get going and I don't try to speed off either. You'd have to turn super slow to not get dinged by the app and this is all from actually being fully stopped at a red light and waiting for it to turn green. It makes no sense plus it definitely was not like this in the past. I actually pay attention and try to get good scores on Drive Safe and Save but this really needs to be looked at and addressed. Also as others have mentioned, just one slightly harder tap of the brakes can ding you too. This was from me realizing a little last minute that I'm not gonna be able to make the camera light before it turns red..Version: 9.4.0

New version always brings a new problemI went to use the app a few days ago to pay my bill. I got an error message while opening. I closed it out and started again. This time I got to the Submit button. I hit Submit and I get a Network Error problem. I had thought the app had gotten better over time. Now it’s back to square one. I have to use my iPhone as a phone and call to pay my bill. It’s back to the useless garbage of years past. No different then the website from years ago. My last two bills I was able to pay even though my password was supposed to have expired automatically after two years. St. Farm never mentions that so you think you’v lost your mind while it’s St. Farms fault for never making clear their password rules. Trying to get a new password is more work and effort that planning the D Day invasion. I spent 3 hours on the phone trying to get a new password. Insane! My last two payments gave an error warning. “Thank you got your payment. Your payment was successfully submitted however we are unable to send a confirmation email. Please make a note of the information below for your records.” Seriously, St. Farm doesn’t have the ability to send an email. I just received a Happy Birthday Card. The intent wasn’t to wish me a Happy Birthday, but to sell me life insurance..Version: 7.14.0

Rachel FitzPatrick Dubuque OfficeTerrible customer service. They state they have logs of all calls. Many missing. No information relayed to each other. No return phone calls when stated call backs would happen. All over a rock chip crack in a windshield. Stated would pay the difference of what they would pay and what was left over to take it to a dealership to get replaced, calibrated, and warranties. Their last wn recommendations wouldn’t even guarantee with waiver signed because they can’t guarantee calibrations. Pathetic. My family is been with State Farm in forever. Over a few hundred dollars Owner of agency can’t even return a call personally. And the employees that do call are filled with no knowledge about what they are working with. Cars, companies, waivers, etc..... I’m so glad State Farm can boat about how great they are. One customer doesn’t mean much to a big company I know but it is to start somewhere..Version: 7.16.0

Issues with Statefarm Bank not really the appStatefarm bank is basically useless. You can’t deposit cash at all in my area. Maybe in your area you’ll find a special ATM that will allow cash deposit but along the coast of GA.. not a chance. If you go into a Statefarm branch they also will not take a cash deposit. If you deposit a check in the afternoon on Friday and it says accepted and processed... wait until maybe Tuesday to actually get your money. Need that money right away and thinking about overdrawing your account to pay your bills with your money they already have in their possession? Nope can’t do that. Wanna use Zelle? Nope can’t do that. Want to send money directly to someone’s account? You can sort of with a lot of hassle. I tried to set it up with my wife’s account and it never actually worked so I gave up. They are actually open 9-2 Monday through Friday. That’s 6 hours of the day. Hours the majority of people are at work and need to do banking right after work. They’re open a total of 30 hours a week. They only do banking part time. To me that shows they’re really not serious about banking. There’s no dedication and mediocre service. They might as well close the banking business because it’s basically worthless. Insurance is fine though lol..Version: 8.4.1

PrivacyState Farm claims to value my privacy but seems more to value my personal information. I just want to pay my bill electronically. I shouldn’t have to also provide everything listed below. • Name • Email address • Phone number • Physical address • Other contact information • Payment information • Credit information • Other financial information • Precise location • Coarse location • Contacts • User ID • Persistent Identifiers (Device ID, etc.) • Product interaction information • Crash and performance data • Device Details (Device Model, Operating System version, etc.) In addition to the information collection and sharing practices described above, State Farm website properties and mobile applications may use common tracking technologies like browser cookies, "Local Shared Objects" (such as "Flash" cookies), analytical tools, device IDs, or other technologies.

Canceling Policies Illegally!The Apple App Store should not let this company have an App on the App Store. State Farm executives and board of directors belong in jail. They are canceling policies in some states for fake reasons. They canceled my home owners insurance. They said they took an Ariel view of my home and determined my roof is bad. It’s a complete lie. My roof is only a couple of years old. I’m also a contractor and I can say with 100% confidence that you cannot determine if someone has a bad roof by looking at it from an Ariel satellite view. You need to actually get up on the roof and look at the shingles, the flashing, the counter flashing, the boots, the vents, the substrate or plywood, and more. What they are doing is both illegal and unethical. I hope a group lawsuit ensues and they go bankrupt. But I hope they go after the executives personal finances to make sure they can never do this to anyone again! They deserve jail time as well!.Version: 9.40.0

Has fundamental flawsThis app has some fundamental flaws. For starters, if you have someone else in the car with you and they are using your phone to either navigate or select music or just google something which is common for me with my gf in the car, it will assume you are using your phone while driving and negatively impact your score. It’s also is not very accurate. For example, I’ve been paying more attention to my speed and using my cruise control more often because this app keeps saying that I’m speeding. On my drive home from work today I was stuck behind a car that was going 5 miles below the speed limit. Yet during this same segment the app says I was briefly speeding. Then on the longest segment of that same drive I had my cruise control set to the speed limit until I turned off Into my neighborhood. The app says I was speeding during a few short stretches of that drive. How?? There have been other times as well where it says I did something I didn’t do. It definitely makes you pay more attention to your driving but it makes more mistakes than I do. The biggest is assuming I’m using my phone when my passenger is..Version: 7.20.1

Really, State Farm?Really, State Farm? My vehicle’s re-sale value will be affected thanks to you and your allegedly industry practice. ‘We get a lot of unhappy clients because of this, but that’s how it works.’ When I ask to escalate my call, ‘Talking to a manager won’t make a difference.’ Said two of your own people while talking to them and trying to get a reasonable explanation. Poor customer service. STRIKE ONE! (And please use the recorded conversation for your training purposes.) My extended warranty will not cover future issues of parts because of your unwillingess to pay for OEM parts. Therefore, all the effort of me keeping the originality and value of my car gone down the drain, even though it is your client’s fault and not mine. Not to say that you rather spend more time and money fixing a junker part such as a bumper, hood and headlights, rather than use new parts. Poor Return of Investment. STRIKE TWO! You say these parts, even though they are recycled, will have a 1 year warranty. Well, that is great news! But, what if it stops working/operating after two years? You won’t cover the cost of fixing it. And guess what?Neither my extended warranty because you were so cheap to use a recycled part. STRIKE THREE! State Farm, you really know how to NOT win a potential customer for your portfolio. You say I need to pay the difference in cost for me to have new parts in my vehicle. Way to go! YOU ARE OUT!.Version: 8.13.0

Drive Safe & SaveThis program defies common sense! Our truck insurance increased 50% for a period when the truck was driven only an average of 11 miles per day. Then we took a trip and it increased another $200 for the 6 months. Our agent cannot provide an explanation and she contacted the specialist for this program and he said the driving records were not available, even to him! Therefore, for each of the past two 6 month periods we were dinged by the program, but no explanation was available in either instance. Since our insurance for the Hummer has not increased and we both drive it, logically, it is not a state-wide increase or our driving. I look at the current records and see very few events. We should not be penalized without access to the driving records used to determine the increase!! At this point, we are strongly considering a change in companies, although we have had multiple lines with State Farm for many years..Version: 9.40.0

Bait and switchCecil , my agent, promise to me in writing that my rate was dropping from $80-$70 and if I wanted to I could add $20,000 worth of renters insurance for only $10 a month which would bring me back to exactly $80 which is what I’ve been paying all along. Well, that was exactly the case as you can clearly see if you look at my payment history. My nightmare, rollercoaster ride of different monthly bills has never ended in many months now. I told him to remove the renters insurance since it was not going to be $80 a month and he made a mistake and it was going to be $85 a month. I told him if he can do simple maths that I didn’t trust him. since my insurance is on auto pay it scares me that I do not know from month-to-month what seesaw will be charging me. Sometimes it to hundred dollars a month and sometimes it’s $84 a month another month it’s $91 a month! I’ve called corporate I’ve finally switched agents and I’ve even had my attorney right Cecil because he doesn’t return my emails or phone calls to explain any of this. I’m going to be reporting Cecil to the attorney general. I’ve always been happy with Statefarm and my new agent here in Dallas is great along with his assistant Linda. I think every penny that I have paid over $75 over the last six months should be refunded to me as this was not my screw up , it was Cecil. I’m sure no one will read this or even bothered to send me an email..Version: 9.20.1

A sad, sad appWhoever designed this app should really, and truly, be ashamed of themselves. If you need inspiration, Loki at any other Insurance company’s app. I just switched to State Farm from GEICO for reasons I shall not get into, but one thing I IMMEDIATELY miss is GEICO’s app. It made spending time on there enjoyable. It made me want to use the app instead of calling. This State Farm app is the saddest app I have ever seen for a large company. It’s as if it the budget was set at a $100, “so do what you can”, then was designed in a couple hours using a template offered by a free service. The persons in charge of this design had no style, and no vision for any type of graphics or colors. And why am I unable to view the details of my policies? What can I not access an image of our auto insurance cards? In case of an accident, having the app on your phone, and being able to show your insurance card, and even your policy, is VERY handy. This app shows nothing..Version: 5.30.3

Filing a claimFiling a claim on this app has been a terrible experience. I originally called and asked for an adjuster to come look at my car, the rude State Farm rep refused to send an adjuster, stating they don’t have any adjusters, was speaking to me in a condescending fashion like I am stupid. I fill everything out and take 15 pictures of my car and the damage. It’s been over a week and now they want me to download another app, retake the same 15 pictures and submit it under a different app. I’m not an adjuster, they aren’t paying me to be an adjuster. I call the 800 number again, this time getting a much nicer rep who said she could see all my stuff and tells me that my pictures and claim were sent to the “express team” and somehow, somewhere, someone dropped the ball and didn’t submit my claim and pictures to the “estimate team” I am very disappointed because State Farm wasn’t the cheapest for my bundle of 2 vehicles, renters and life insurance but was supposed to be one of the better options in customer service. Turns out I’m paying extra to be my own insurance adjuster..Version: 9.14.0

Thanks for making payments easier!!!Since changing several years ago to State Farm Insurance, I have been so grateful and have never regretted making the change from an insurance company I was with for almost 20 years. House, cars, and life insurances have saved me so much money and given us as good, and in some cases better coverage! Now you have created a way on line to make paying insurance even easier. My Bill, always due the middle of the month, and I hated when I had the money earlier that I had to go in, stop the automatic payment, pay that payment, then restart the automatic payment up for the next month! You have now given those of us with automatic paying, with just a click of the button, to pay early! My life is hectic enough with out spending awhile paying bills! I am so blessed to not only have you as my Insurance Company but having an Agent and an office that helps us so much in keeping a routine!!!! Thank You State Farm!!!!.Version: 9.0.0

Half useful, half uselessI am home and auto customer. I bought a new car and sold my old one. My old policy remains in the app without premium. I had to call my agent. My current auto appeared until the premium was overdue, at which time it disappeared. How do I pay it during grace period if it’s not there? There was also no indicator of any premium due. I had to call my agent. I opened the app and had a large premium notice to pay my homeowners policy... NOW DUE! I thought it came out of my escrow but I paid it through the app because clearly it wanted me to. I checked and my policy is paid by my mortgage escrow. I had to call my agent. Why am I calling my agent? Because this app is a terrible customer experience for premium management. If you need roadside assistance or your agents contact info, then great! Just call your agent for any money exchange..Version: 7.23.1

Touch ID stopped working after I used this app.I downloaded to pay my bill, which I did with no trouble. The sign in page gives you a choice to sign in using a fingerprint - I accepted, made the payment and exited the application. When my phone slept, I tried to wake it up. I would not respond to any of my prints on my phone after signing in with State Farm. I’m not sure if it’s related or not, but after extensive troubleshooting with Apple, the issue remained unresolved until it occurred to me that my phone’s software was not updated (which was probably the root of the issue somehow - don’t ask me why Apple didn’t ask about my software version...?). A whole day passed after I updated, and Touch ID still wouldn’t work, until randomly it finally let me use it again. If you like to use Touch ID to sign into apps, just make sure you have the most recent version of iOS, and don’t mind risking part of your phones functionality (unless this bug has been fixed/solved).Version: 7.0.2

Good in theory onlySo I have had this app for a while. And it strikes me funny. I am a good safe driver. I follow the law. Today I got on to check my discount because my renewal is coming up next month. Only to see suddenly I get a braking event each time I drive my car. I do not use my phone so it’s either in my back pocket or I put it in my cup holder when I get in my car. The braking events have reduced my driving score significantly. I know for a fact it is creating fast braking out of normal stopping. One fast brake was in between two stop lights that were prob 50ft apart. How do u fast brake in 50feet from a stop?!?! The failure is with the design. It does not plug into the obd2 it is supposed to be attached to the car but I refused to do that and get sticky double sided crazy adhesive all over my car. The discounts arnt worth it. I have full coverage on that car and it only saves $60 where as before it was saving $150 all of a sudden right before renewal it’s creating events where none should b. For such a trusted company like State Farm I expect better. I could be getting cheaper elsewhere. I might look into other options..Version: 9.43.1
