Nice (4 stars)
Yes, lots of weird facts.
Yes, sound effects (though after a few minutes they can get annoying, but maybe that is the adult talking).
Yes, every time it starts it starts in the exact same place, it would be nice if it randomized where it started.
Hopefully updates will include more content.
I do like that it pronounced that really l o n g Thailand name.
