It is not actually Google Cast but hooks into the same UI for Youtube. Casting Youtube is pretty robust.

One way of doing it is having an out-of-bands way of refreshing tokens in responses. So if the token is about to expire you can return an updated one on the side-channel.

And the app doesn't look native to Android either. Some things are inherently non-Android, such as bottom tab-bars. All images are also low-res on my Galaxy Nexus and scrolling is laggy.

There are some great bugs as well: * It loads the wrong images and the flickers in the correct image later * Everything says "0 listings" * Clicking the map button crashes the app * It's very hard to sidescroll their custom ViewPager

The timeline/feed is not a WebView from what I can see. The news part/tab is though (which is displayed in the screenshot).
