Phone App Download Data

Question:
I was wondering if anyone had any leads on where to look for this data request:

“I am looking for data on the number of downloads of dating applications (phone apps) in Canada from 2012-present”

I’ve looked around but haven’t found any data that is publicly available.  Maybe it’s just been one of those days…

Secondly, Statista seems to have a lot of aggregated data from reports and I was curious if anyone here has a subscription to it and how they find the site?

Answer:
We’ve received the following response from subject matter:

“The Canadian Internet Use Survey (CIUS) 2018 contains questions related to online activities such as using the Internet for a dating website or app.

The survey is currently in collection and the results will be released in the Fall 2019.

Another source to check with would be the Digital economy Survey, July 2017 to June 2018,
