Currently I am using the regular restrictions that comes with my iPhone but I find myself always updating it to block more websites and putting timers on apps because you can block specific apps. I use it mainly because it’s free. B”H after updating it so many times and blocking more websites and putting timers on more apps I finally sealed it up. What do other iOS users do with all the loopholes in the restrictions?

I block all websites, and the ability to install new apps.
What I do, is let someone close to me make the parental controls code, so that if  I need some configuration done, it's never too far away.
And after this initial setup, whitelist as needed. 
I know it severely limits the browsing capability as basically you can't use the browser freely, and I know it might not be for everyone, but I find that for the time being it works for me.
Yes, it's scary to give up browser capability, but it basically gives you a ton of control back in living your life normally.
Hope this helps.

Speak to the pros. But keep in mind there is ALWAYS a loophole, either in the phone or in life. We gotta also learn to say NO.
Nothing good grows in the dark.

I use an app called OurPact, which  is a parental restriction app that you install on your phone and someone else’s phone and is controlled from their phone. It has the ability to block certain apps and websites, either all day or for certain times.

I don’t know if it’s foolproof, but it might be worth looking into, maybe in addition to restrictions.
