Last updated: 6 May 2026

This Autopilot app review is based on nine months of personal use since 11 August 2025, copy trading three folios through a Robinhood UK account with real money on the line. Numbers, friction points and verdicts below are all from my own portfolio.

Welcome to my updated Autopilot app review from a UK perspective. One month ago, I was sitting on a small loss across three copy-trading folios. Today, I am comfortably in the green. Same app, same folios, same approach. Wildly different numbers. If you ever needed proof that copy trading is volatile, this is it.
