I noticed that the in app web view does not handle link taps. It has no address bar or navigation controls, so tapping a link loads it inside the same view and the user can end up far from the page they opened.
In WebViewActivity.java the ProgressClient does not override shouldOverrideUrlLoading, so every link opens inside the view. It would be better to keep that view for the page it was opened with and send normal web links to the system browser.
I will open a PR that opens http and https links in the browser and leaves other schemes untouched.
