According to Netflix, the new app uses Widevine DRM by Google and only works on devices certified by Google and not modified in anyway. Netflix said this “Version 5.0 only works with devices that are certified by Google and meet all Android requirements”. 

Android Police found that if you've got the app installed already or sideload it, the service works just fine. And it appears that it's not just rooted devices that are affected, but even those with unlocked bootloaders are being blocked from downloading Netflix. 

Rooting is a relatively common practice among technology enthusiasts, as it unlocks a broader range of operating system customisation options and can allow you to download software updates earlier than you would be able to otherwise. The Android app was updated on May 15 and the new update is designed to protect Netflix from potential content pirates. Besides that, the company is also testing price increases for customers in Australia looking to sign up to the service on weekends.
