The book Dataclysm and the OkCupid blog have a lot of analysis about things like this. Both are about a decade old now and were written by one of the guys who founded OkCupid, so it focuses on dating sites instead of apps, but I would assume the trends are the same (or even amplified).
It's been a while since I've read either, so I don't remember exact data, but it's true that women get way more men reaching out to them than the reverse.
Here's a random OkCupid blog post that focuses on it a little bit: https://theblog.okcupid.com/a-womans-advantage-82d5074dde2d https://theblog.okcupid.com/a-womans-advantage-82d5074dde2d. I think the book has more detailed data though.
