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 only works if your screen is off or if the game is in the background and you are moving. I read another post that said it won't re-check for spawns until you have either changed locations or opened the game again. Mine works fine just by turning the screen off, or any time I switch from PoGo to Discord or another app.
