How safe is it to allow apps like this access to my accounts?
As safe as any other API. The app will be able to read your analytics for all sites that your account has access to.
The app will be able to read it, so does that mean the operator of the app has access to everybody's analytics data?
Correct. Same way Github has access to everybody's source code, or Google has access to everyone's emails, etc.
