Autopilot - Investment App 4+

Investing made smart!

I recently had the opportunity to try out Autopilot, and I have to say, I was thoroughly impressed with the features and functionality it offered.

First and foremost it is incredibly user-friendly. The interface is intuitive and easy to navigate, making it simple for users of all experience levels to find their way around. It offers a variety of tools and resources that are useful for both novice and experienced investors.

Overall, I would highly recommend Autopilot to anyone looking for a comprehensive and user-friendly investing and financial application. Its robust features and personalized recommendations make it a valuable tool for investors of all levels, and its educational resources help users to continue learning and growing their financial knowledge!

Honest Initial Review

I signed up for the automatic download a few months in advance due to enjoying their Twitter page and thinking “Wow: that’s actually a cool idea!” I was really excited when the app first downloaded. Went in, set up my account…BAM: “You need at least $500 in your account to use”. Oh noes! While my account has several thousands in it, it only had like $60 in buying power. So over a little bit of time, I traded off some losing stocks until my buying power was around $600. Went back to the account, set up my pilot, it went to work…BAM: subscription fee to continue use. !!! “…I can’t really afford that right now…”.

I’m not very wealthy at all. My stock portfolio is from YEARS of adding money and making little trades here and there. My monthly income is tight (especially in this economy). While I figured there would probably be a fee, I thought that 1) it would be disclosed much sooner than it was and 2) it would be more in line with the value of the stock trades. For someone with a lower amount in their account, I would have figured it would have been either a lower cost (because the algorithm probably won’t make many trades with smaller accounts) or even some sort of merit system (like billed a certain percentage based on gains). While I think the app is nice and I had no issues with the use, I’m just let down that I won’t be able to use it to its full advantage until I basically find a better paying job.

Some bugs here and there but excellent support

Edit-Kudos to an extremely responsive Autopilot team, who reached out and fixed the first bug I have reported below. I am upgrading my rating for them to four stars now. One mor bug to go and they’d get a perfect five from me.

The concept is good, the app is not! I have been using it for two months and keep coming across bugs every now and then. Most of these are around adding funds to a pilot where the available funds in the trading account don’t show up as available in Autopilot even after several hours. Also, on other occasions, it doesn’t reduce the balance after completing a trade, potentially creating a situation of making two transactions using the same funds accidentally. Since this cannot be allowed, the account balance turns negative and you get a message about “Insufficient funds”. Team needs to invest in getting a bigger and better I.T. team.
