• Bugsnag - Crash reporting and error tracking
• Firebase Cloud Messaging - Push notification delivery
• Apollo GraphQL - Data querying and communication layer
• OkHttp3 - Network request handling
• AndroidX Jetpack - Core framework components
• RxJava - Asynchronous operations
• Dagger/Hilt - Internal dependency management
• Widevine DRM - Content protection for streamed media

Understanding the Scores

Positive Security Features

• Content protection for streamed media is handled through an established digital rights management system, helping safeguard streamed content.
• Push notifications are delivered through a well-maintained third-party messaging service with a consistent update cadence.

Areas for Improvement

• Network communication protections should be strengthened to better protect user account activity and content accessed while streaming.
• The range of data shared with crash-reporting and analytics services could be narrowed to reduce how much user activity is visible to outside parties.
• Options for controlling and limiting behavioral data collection could be made more accessible within the app settings.
