I've been hanging out with my friends catching Pokémon, but whenever they catch lots of Pokémon, none spawn for me. Last night I sat for three hours in the middle of three increased stops, all my friends got a lot of Pokémon, and I only got a single one! I tried moving around, deleting and installing the app again, turning my phone on and off, but nothing works. How can I fix this problem?

From personal experience:
Source: Plays with GF a lot. Sometimes we don't see the same pokemon, but when I walk 10 meters towards where it was on her map I can get it.
EDIT: To help with that, compare with your friends where the App sees you. It often happens that me and my GF are right next to each other, but in the app we are detected 50-100 meters apart.
LATE EDIT: It's been years, but something could also trigger you to not see some pokemon that others see. At some speed (idk what exactly) no pokemon will appear on your map. The speed is slow enough that being on a bus might trigger that, but barely. At the next long stop (like a red light) they should appear after a few seconds.
