That app may simply be reporting the presence of signals, but the geolocation functions and APIs may not actually use those signals in their calculations.
And if they are actually processing the signals, then they are breaking FCC regulations:

Legally they could get their FCC certification pulled and not be allowed to be sold in the US if they are doing that.
