I'd add: remove the ads!!!!
Seriously now, why are there ads in the feed list? I understand ads embedded in the content, but the list of articles? I'm sorry, is my $900 phone subsidized by ads now?

Early access? Well then, that's not news. Those are stories/segments/biographies. Otherwise, they are getting their behinds kicked by everyone else. All that other content is fluff. I can wait for that (assuming I want it at all).
Well, you can off course decide NOT to use anyone who goes for the whole 40% all the time; your choice.
Or, possibly subscribe and either get no add, or very little ads (like the New York Times).
Also, does it say it takes 40% of every screen?
Newspapers run full page ads and much smaller ones. Sometimes crappy small ads are more annoying than the large ones.
Well good for you then; you don't have too, move along...
Most news you can get EVERYWHERE for free; value added content should be more than that.
Magazines, and even newspapers have things that don't report what happened in the last half hour; investigative reporting, profiles. I know people are ADD and want their bite size, new crap, 24h a day; but there is a place for the rest too.
It's apple software, on an apple device. A device I paid for so I would never see ads. Ads should take up 0% of the screen.
It's not like I'm referring to in content pages where Apple has no control. I get why content would have ads. This is between stories.
Bear in mind that other than U.S., only iOS 9.1 beta could get news app.
And I must say this app is poorly designed. No way to quickly go back to first page. No reload button. Search function is extremely poor. And I cannot just pick up a feed from currently reading article, rather than manually searching and adding it to news.
P.S. Some comments in this article makes me feel really enjoyable.

I really wonder what the developers of Flipboard think about Apple News--they are now direct competitors in many ways.
How do you add an RSS feed?
I tried it for a blog I follow in Feedly and search couldn't find it. For the record it's http://feeds.feedburner.com/TheDigitalStory and searching for "The Digital Story" was a bust too.
Or am I mixed up on what this app is supposed to be?

The publisher of the blog must add the feed to News, then you can "Favorite" it and follow/read it there.
I had one publication submitted after WWDC as a test that was in News and working on Wednesday. Additional publications I submitted on Thursday have yet to be approved or denied.
