Answer 1

Referral spam is a common thing where people generate fake traffic to your Google Analytics property with the referrer set to their site. For a website, you can deal with it by using the Referral Exclusion List (note: this will not apply retroactively), but for an app you'll need to use a filter.

Answer 2

To add to my previous reply; The device that, according to my analytics, connected via that service was running iOS. And they were all referrals from social-buttons.com. I only found out about this site moments ago via a google search, never seen it in my life.

I'm led to believe something isn't right, it's very out of the ordinary for me to get more than 6 page visits a day, all of them being non-returning visitors. They don't navigate between pages nor do they stay for any more than 10 seconds.

I dunno if this has helped, but it'll give you a little bit of insight into it.
