Autopilot - Investment App 4+

Let the stock wars begin.

I trade a lot an I enjoy hurting my competitors where it counts their wallets, since our greedy politicians wish to play a game I think it very wise if we the people play the game on our terms. Truth be told though polosi is lucky she has a 100k because her portfolio is weak those companies are very volatile if you’re serious about making money on stocks my recommendation to the devs is to have the app focus real estate investing that pays dividends. Your app is good for sure but definitely can improve so anything tech is safe as long as it isn’t a company that gets political and just focuses sales. Anything dividend paying is a wise choice you can find plenty of stocks that pay monthly divs majority of the good ones are non US based companies. Definitely a cool app though you don’t need to auto you can go through an just pick from the list like a shopping list. But yes you can beat them with there own portfolio’s, keep up the good work. PS always do your research before you invest into it I’m not a licensed advisor just throwing some tips for anyone who’s interested.

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.
