I'm looking for a parental control app for iOS 17 that allows me to not only restrict apps etc but also lets me over-ride the schedule and allow the kiddo to play as I see fit.

We were using the Screentime Labs app on android. But on iOS it doesn't work well.

The native Screen Time feature has this functionality. The child can request extra time. Or, you can turn it off for a while.
