9 year old behaviour - how to deal with it?

I have a 9yo DD who, at school is a model pupil. Always getting awards for her behaviour, accademically doing very well, good circle of friends - no issues to report.
At home however she is constantly angry, screams and shouts at her little brother over the tiniest things and whinges and moans all the time that she's bored. The only thing that interests her is going on her ipad to play flipping Roblox.
I limit screen time to once or twice a week for an hour at a time when she's here. From what I can gather, she does go on her ipad more when she's at her Dads house although according to him, nothing excessive. We split about 5 years ago and have always co parented very well, very amicable and have a good routine going.
I've tried talking to her to find out if there's anything wrong but she just either says everything is boring or she hates her little brother. I make time to play with her, do crafts, we do alot outdoors but she's constantly annoyed at everyone.
I'm at my wits end with her, any help?

Might be her Hormones? Or just prefers being at school to home. I dunno.

How are things socially with friends at school? Girls this age can be frankly horrible. Maybe she's struggling to navigate that and taking it out on people at home.

Alternatively maybe a screen ban for a couple of weeks - it's addictive and doesn't make for good behaviour.
