Hm... The app uses whatever altitude is returned by the Android SDK
(LocationProvider), which doesn't account for geoid I'm afraid.
So until it's fixed in Android itself, I don't see an easy fix...

how about an option then to set an constant offset to the recorded altitude.
For germany for instant the geoidal_separation is -48 meters
There are also services on the web to get this value for given coordinates -
look here http://www.unavco.org/edu_outreach/tutorial/geoidcorr.html
Besides that there are apps which shows the correct altitude - GPS Test is one
of them:
