What features are available on the app?
What does the State Farm app do? After registering on the State Farm website, Pocket Agent allows the consumer to:
- Contact their agent or search for an agent
- View their insurance policy coverage information
- View their insurance card
- Start the claim filing process
- Find roadside services
- Search for a Select Service repair facility
- View the claim status for a fire or auto claim
- Pay their bill
- Access Drive Safe and Save features
All State Farm Insurance policies are available on the app, as well as State Farm Bank and State Farm Mutual Funds account information.
With State Farm Bank accounts, customers can deposit checks into accounts with MyTime Deposit, pay bills, pay their credit card, view transaction activity, and transfer funds from one eligible State Farm Bank account to another.
To view personal information, make a bank deposit, submit or view a claim, or make payments, the viewer:
- Must be a State Farm customer.
- Must be enrolled and registered on www.statefarm.com.
What it can’t do:
Although auto claims can be initiated on the app, all other claims—including homeowner insurance, business insurance, health, disability, long-term care, and life—must start on the website or go through an agent.
The app does not currently have the capacity to provide quotes on new insurance policy coverage.
Even though State Farm’s marketing suggests that non-clients can use some of the location features, users must be willing to register at statefarm.com to use any element of the app.
What is Drive Safe and Save?
Drive Safe and Save is a usage-based way to save on your insurance premiums. The product runs in the background when installed on your smart device and collects data on your driving habits for informational purposes.
Your data will be collected based upon the time of day you typically drive and events that happen, such as hard-braking and speeding. There is no way for it to take into account weather conditions and other circumstances of your drive.
However, you can note if you were a passenger and not the driver so that it won’t count against you. Whether you’re a college student or commuter, this is one way to get additional discounts if you have good driving habits.

What’s the bottom line?
If you are an auto insurance, mutual fund, or State Farm Bank customer, the app will make your life a little easier; but for other State Farm customers, downloading the app at this stage is probably not worth your time unless you can foresee a need for policy information “on the go” that you couldn’t wait to log into the regular website for. There is certainly room for improvement on this app.
