I downloaded this app after seeing a video about its creation (politicians are playing the stock market while making moves that will impact it, and their moves are public, so it would likely be a good idea to follow their lead). I figured maybe I could put in a few dollars here and there, because like many of my fellow Americans, I live paycheck to paycheck. It won’t let you even access any of the information on the app unless you “will make more than $100,000 this year”. This app clearly was not made with the average working class American in mind. No one has that kind of disposable income, and if they do, truthfully, they’re not the ones who need to be playing the stocks. The only way for things to get better is for the little guys to have just as much opportunity as those on top, and in my opinion, this app is classist and counterintuitive.
Great premise, poor execution.

Hey! Apologies for the confusion here, but you still can 100% use the app without having to make the $100k salary. That message is there to simply better showcase that active investing is a "riskier" way to invest and usually is used with excess money. Our team will be revisiting that screen though to see if we can clarify this. Thank you for the feedback!The minimum need to gain access to the app is earning $100k a year. They ask this after you have provided all of your personal information to them. And are in there system. So I understand and wanted to delete my information from there system since im a small fry and all, would you believe theres no way to do that? I spend 30 minutes going thur all the buttons and policies i can find no way to accomplish the task. So I kindly asking can you…..Auto pilot take my information off your system I don't care to receive and email from you or be sold to a third party. My inbox is pretty full lol. Anyways, I will keep you in mind and I’ll “call you when I’m rich”. BTW its a great concept I saw it on IG.
I had been hearing for years how Pelosi has insider advantage and how well her portfolio performs and of course wanted to follow suit. After a little research; I found this app that automated investments for me. I’ve been using it for almost two months now as an experiment and can say I’ve already made my money back on the $10/month fee and am pleased with the performance so far!
Stocks will go up and down but so far overall I am up. Been a fun experiment. I wouldn’t use this as a sole investing platform but for something small on the side this is perfect. Great job AutoPilot team. Looking forward to 2024 and how the market pans out
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.

Appreciate the update :) Also yes, we know of these few issues and are actively working to improve them so that the general experience of the product increases. We have the team working on it and we're excited to win you over to that 5 star review!The concept is good, the app is not!

I really like this concept and the app is great. I would love to see historical returns for different options though. For instance, when you select Michael Burry and invest, currently you can see all time total return. It would be great to see weekly, monthly, yearly, YTD. It would also be great to see these when reviewing different investment options. In theory, if you only used this for your brokerage account you could filter it there, but I have personal non-autopilot investments there which makes it hard to track. Other than that, I really like this app!
I like Autopilot because I’m a novice investor. I got started when I learned that they follow politicians and mirror their investments. I started with a small investment because I know nothing except that you shouldn’t invest in something you don’t understand. It does my investing automatically, and so far, I’m in the plus. I haven’t cashed out, so I don’t know about fees or anything. Overall, I recommend.
This app follows investors portfolios using ai. I got very tired of trying to keep up with trends and news to day trade and make sound long term investments but thanks to autopilot I don’t have to worry anymore and I don’t think about it while I’m at work. The 30 dollar fee is worth it for 3 months as in one month at the minimum investment of 500 I’m already up 10% stocks don’t always go up but with autopilot it pays for itself
Love the support and how you’re able to contribute with ideas and feedback. The application is in the early stages of development so it only has some features, the core ones, but they work well. As a learning experience I think is magnificent to be able to copy some of the most renowned traders in history and see how they behave depending on the market. As I’m writing right now I had 13% gains in 3 months, which is much more than what I could ever get by myself. Definitely recommend it, just have to be patient for a bit. I work in tech so can understand the struggles of developing something like this. Great work Autopilot team!
I was excited to try this as a little experiment and I was able to invest through the app, but when I went back to open it, the app stopped showing my my information and instead took me to the introductory letter window, prompting me to get started. I see my investment through Robinhood, but not through the app. I reported this bug, received initial notice to restart my phone. This did not work and they have yet to update the app. I’m still interested in the concept but if I cannot use the app is it really worth it?
