The theater I am sitting in registers at 36 but when I move my phone close to the top of my wife’s iPhone, my phone register as high as 600-700 microteslas and the app shows HIGH. The cottage we are staying at registered 46 but next the fridge, I measured 350 microteslas.
The app does seem to work. Does anybody know how??

I'm guessing the most logical answer lies in the apps ability to tap into the "magnetometer" in the iPhone.
The magnetometer in the iPhone is an amazing instrument that gives you the magnetic field strength along three axis in micro-teslas (µT). Apple software uses this instrument to find the direction the iPhone is pointed in, but you can also use the magnetometer to measure the strength of magnetic fields.
