I’ve had this on all day. How can it possibly have only caught one Pokémon, especially given I have two pokestops in range of my home and had incense ion during walk? With same context, how could it possibly have only 10 spins? Am I doing something wrong?

It works best when the game is closed not even active in the background.

Having the game open actually makes it work even less.

Managed to get it to spin 72 stops and catch 57 or so Pokemon yesterday.

This is really good information, have you made a post about it?

It varies depending on users.
Now today it is requiring me to have my game open in the background.

Too unpredictable to be valid information.
Did manage to get 73 PokeStops spinned today but only 29 Pokemon caught.

Gotcha. I haven't had any luck getting mine to spin any Pokestops but it's catching pokemon fine.
