hmmm, maybe these got changed. I just went to the app store on my iPhone and NFB Newsline was the third choice when I typed nfb and bard mobile was the second choice when I typed bard. I then tried the same searches on my iPad with the same results. So maybe something has been changed since you tried these.

And now, every day: "This I call to mind, and therefore I have hope: The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases; his mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness."
