I was out for a bit this morning and just had the GPS turned on without the wifi and was able to catch 4 Pokémon and find a handful of PokéStops.
I ran into a Scyther while coming back from my oboe lesson. I ended up running out of Pokeballs attempting to catch it. How in the world do I get more Pokeballs without spending money? =/ I passed by like twenty Pokespots and I couldn't do much to interact with them... I was riding in a car, but still I don't understand how they work... I thought that's where we're supposed to get Pokeballs? =/
The AR feature doesn't work on my phone. When I switched, there was no Pokemon in front of me? Anyone else have this problem? My phone is a Sony Xperia Aqua M4 so not the greatest phone around which is probably why (at least I can get it wet ). I could try my iPod but I don't see that working much better since it isn't even a phone.

I think I read some phones have arrows so you know which way to rotate. (some don't although..?) Having AR off it'll always be front and center.

Having AR off it'll always be front and center.Oh, that is smart, I looked around a bit, but I didn't think to turn around or anything. I didn't see any arrows on my screen at the least. Thanks.Edit: I tried turning around and nope. I got a pop up saying it couldn't detect where I was pointing or something so it's definitely an issue with my phone. Defeats half the fun of the game somewhat, but eh, I don't think it would have impacted my current opinion anyway. My house is overrun by Drowzee though, yikes.Edit again: When the outline of a pokemon pops up indicating it's nearby, is it supposed to tell you which way to go to find the pokemon, or are you supposed to look around blindly? I have like eight pokemon close by but no indication where to look; not sure if it's related to my phone or just the way the game is.
When you get close enough to a Stop, you tap on it on the map and spin the icon. Pokeballs and other items come out that way, but you have to be close enough for the Stop to change shape on your screen. That's how you know you can interact with it.
It's hard to get them in a car, especially if you are going over 20mph. You have to get lucky on the timing cuz it lags keeping up with the car speed. When you are close enough they change from little squares to circles and then.you click on them and spin them. You can click on them before they turn into circles but usually it says it's too far away.
