Short answer no but it'll auto catches/spin for you. If you want the game play experience it strips you of that feature. If you want to battle, drop characters off at gyms or complete research tasks it will NOT play for you.
Sync it to your device and it'll auto spin/catch for them. You can only sync one per phone. It'll catch for them and all they need to do is sort through the characters on the phone in a more appropriate time. If you're driving it'll still work if you're doing 25mph or less. This is a wonderful feature because most of my commute home is through a down town area and it collects a lot for me on the way home. I can keep my eyes on the road and know I'll have fun cleaning up the catches when I get home. Have a large storage bag and pokemon storage pouch. If you have less than a 1,000 count for each you'll be running out of room a lot.
