Why are date apps hard

I (27f) am trying to find a gf I have tried 2 different apps and only gotten one matches but it was a couples account, I'm only looking for a gf. I'm honest over the fact im in an enm with a child. I wouldn't want a surprise on my behalf. My husband has told me its cause apps suck but I can't get out much due to being a SAHM. Is it me or just the apps.
