It's ok, but I still like Flipboard a little more.
Most likely the BBC opted-out with the News app probably to make sure you go to their page directly and view their ads.
Settings > iCloud > News
Turning this option On for both my iPhone and iPad made the news sources sync.
The BBC in the UK has no adverts on the TV, radio, apps or website. So it wouldn't stand to reason when News is launched in the UK.
I assume they will launch when it does in the UK? Or maybe they just want us to use the BBC News app.
It may be the that this is a priority for ad-supported media. The Guardian and Mail can (slightly?) extend their reach and continue to get revenue. BBC in the UK does not need revenue. Is there a BBC international news app with advertising?
Same for me. It's a weak imitation of it at this point. From Apple's description, I was expecting more. However, I'm sure that it will improve over time.
On the surprising side, it includes categories for Android news. In fact, the very first headline it showed me was about how poorly the Apple Android app for transferring data to an iPhone was rated.
Same thing for me, I would love to be able to at least be able to add categories to my news sources that I add ... not available ...
Also, A lot of websites that I go to with Safari does not even have the option to add to news ... Same websites work with Feedly .... witch in my opinion is a FAR better option for RSS news feeds, in fac the layout of Feedly on the iPhone is almost the same as the iOS9 News App.
I was looking for far more out of the iOS9 News app .... Seems Ill be sticking with Feedly
I'll give this a try for a while longer but I love the Flip-style of Flipboard. I like the ticks/flips rather than a continuous scroll also, I've been using the Flipboard straight/auto fill of stuff but do like being able to quickly go straight to Apple News, or Sports, or Photography sections.
I think News needs improvement. but if you have never picked up any similar style news/reading app in the past, what 7 years, then this is a welcome addition.
Thanks for this. Oddly, it was turned on on my iPad and off on my iPhone and I never touched either setting.
For those in Canada if you want the news app to appear, just change the Language and Region setting to United States.
Also on my iPhone 5, when I launch news, I don't get past the first page, it just keeps clocking. I don't see the various news bubbles.
Anyone with the same issue?

I love it. It hasn't even been out for 24 hours and it's already my most frequently used app. I find the scrolling to be more efficient than the Flipboard-style flipping. They have a pretty comprehensive list of news sources already and I'm sure there's more to come.
Not sure why a couple of you say that News articles can't be organized by topics. I have "Apple, Inc", "Business", "Design", "Finance", "Gadgets", "Health", "Movies", "Science", and "Technology" all as topics I've picked. When I go into any of them, the articles titles are listed with source logos cleanly displayed underneath as a tag line.
I like the very different display formats that they use for the iPad vs the iPhone. Flipbook's iPhone format is "prettier" looking with photo headers, but I can only see one article preview at a time. The News format on the iPhone is a bit more spartan looking with mostly text, but it's more efficient. I can quickly peruse far more articles in one glance or a few small swipes.

YEAH I have several sites that AppleNews App does not work with, even from safari
Not sure this is true. I don't have access to Apple News. But my coworker, also Canadian and with a Canadian iPhone, does.
i would like to add more than just RSS. like twitter, Facebook pages youtube channels. etc.
Yeah, for now the developer of Flipboard has nothing to worry about.
You can checkout the categories in the news app by clicking on the Favorites button on the bottom icon bar. This will take you to all your added news sources by category.
