Doesn't look like the application shows the distance in the UI. As long as they don't leak it in the packets (hopefully they don't given how they claim anonymity) triangulation would require the target to be sending messages continuously on a consistent interval for you to detect whether or not they are at the 1 kilometre 'border.'

... why not just fake your phone's GPS coordinates and perform a binary search?

Well, they could make it harder by relaying messages to people 1km+rand() around you
