Shadowing Practice: NEVER Download These LOST Apps.. - Learn English Speaking with Video
Creating lesson...
1
These apps were deleted and lost forever.
2
Millions of people downloaded them and then they suddenly disappeared.
3
And the weird part is, most of them look completely harmless.
4
So today we're tracking down some of the internet's most infamous deleted apps to find out what really got them banned.
5
Starting with our first game called Joy Pony.
6
Now if you search up Joy Pony, you will find the app logo which is just this cute little pony.
7
And just by looking at some more of these images I found Joy Pony game even be scary?
8
I mean it just looks so innocent.
9
Well that's where you're wrong.
10
You see Joy Pony is a virtual pet simulation game released in 2017
11
that gained popularity for its deceptive nature and it appears to be a cute pony care game inspired by My Little Pony.
12
But here's where it gets dark because on the inside it features disturbing hidden gameplay involving violence and torture.
13
In the start of the game there will be a brown box and if you open it
14
feed it and let it sleep.
15
But here's where it gets dark.
16
Apparently, you can also hurt the little pony in the most violent ways.
17
Now, right now, I'm trying to think, how could a game based off My Little Pony be violent and disturbing?
18
There's actually no way this is real, right?
19
Well, I'm going to find out if it's real by going to the app store and searching up Joy Pony.
20
Now, if I search that up, I see a few games.
21
It says My Little Pony Harmony Quest, My Little Pony Magic Princess,
22
off topic and it starts giving us games like Akinator.
23
So clearly, Joy Pony isn't on the App Store.
24
And the video we were watching did say it was lost media, but there is a video online of the gameplay of Joy Pony.
25
Now this video does give a warning about it being graphic, so I'm very curious to see why this game became lost media.
26
Let's take a look.
27
Oh my gosh, what is that noise?
28
Hello?
29
What the heck?
30
Oh, this pony's like disgusting.
31
Okay, hold up hold up.
32
They're bathing the pony which we saw in the video.
33
Okay?
34
Oh, my God.
35
Why is it so like messy though?
36
- - Wait, isn't that not the rainbow dash? person from My Little Pony?
37
What the heck?
38
Okay, well they bathed the pony.
39
And now they're putting it to sleep.
40
Wait a second, hold on.
41
You can flip the pony and you can ask a few things.
42
How are you?
43
You hungry?
44
You thirsty?
45
You're beautiful and you're ugly.
46
So you can clearly interact with this thing, but I've noticed a few other things on screen.
47
There is a text thing that says I will punish you.
48
And on the right hand side, there is a needle, a knife, and some sort of attack button right here.
49
What the heck?
50
Hold on, let's keep watching.
51
Okay, here's the needle.
52
Wait.
53
No, that's not the needle, but you saw the needle, right?
54
Alright, looks like this person is - Oh my gosh!
55
Look!
56
What the...
57
Yo, they just started hurting the pony!
58
And look, it says I - they're highlighting "I will punish you." Oh - What?
59
My gosh, this is insane.
60
Oh Hey!
61
What the heck is wrong with this thing?
62
Okay, look, the bed is literally just covered in red.
63
And now they're gonna bathe the pony.
64
But that is insane.
65
This game is so gruesome.
66
What the heck?
67
Okay, well, thankfully, that game is off the app store, and it is lost media.
68
I'm very glad, because that is a very gruesome game.
69
But what if I said this next app isn't?
70
And this next app is 10 times worse, because it's able to take control of your device, steal your personal info, steal your money, download its own other apps,
71
and even do more than that.
72
And an app like that is still available today.
73
- Part six.
74
- Here we go.
75
Ice cream roll cool launcher.
76
Ice cream roll cool launcher.
77
Before I start can you follow me in Roblox?
78
No!
79
Thank you.
80
Ice cream roll cool launcher is an app that was released on the Play Store in 2024 by Yotam Z.
81
Okay.
82
Rumors say that this app has a lot of ads that will pop up on your screen if you download it.
83
Alright.
84
Yes, it's real.
85
Okay, so far all I've learned about this app is
86
that it is just filled with ads and we all know
87
if you're playing an app and you get an ad It's very annoying, but I haven't seen anything that would make it crazy creepy yet, so let's keep watching.
88
Because many people have reported this issue that when they download the app and play it, Of course.
89
So if you open the app, at first, it will ask you if you want it to be your home screen.
90
Wait, what?
91
If you click cancel.
92
You cannot continue the game.
93
Okay, so what this person is saying is
94
if you click cancel on not letting this app be your whole entire home screen, you're not allowed to play the game.
95
So what happens if you click continue?
96
I guess we're gonna have to find out.
97
But also, I just noticed this person said help me in their TikTok.
98
Not exactly sure why, but that's also a little bit creepy.
99
But if you click yes.
100
It loads and after that you can now start the game.
101
Okay.
102
And after you play it and you leave the app, you will notice something strange happened.
103
What would happen?
104
The home screen will be changed.
105
An unwanted app installation will happen like random apps.
106
will be installed at your phone.
107
What?
108
Even you didn't download it.
109
That's insane.
110
Just uninstall the app or game and boom it's gone.
111
But this app is not officially confirmed by Google Play Store as a real virus app.
112
Well it sounds like a virus.
113
And also I do not recommend you to download it.
114
That's all bye.
115
Okay, well, I'm definitely not downloading it, and I don't know if it's still on the Google Play Store.
116
Let me actually check real quick.
117
Now, for those of you with Apple iPhones, the Google Play Store is essentially the equivalent to the App Store, and a lot of things that are on the Google Play Store are actually not on the App Store,
118
but let's go ahead and search this up.
119
So, it is Ice Cream Cool Launcher.
120
Ice Cream Cool Roll Launcher.
121
I think that's what it
122
you can see this ice cream roll cool launcher app isn't on the google play store
123
but that's not what i meant by it's still available now
124
if you guys didn't know a lot of computers are able
125
to run mobile game apps with something called an emulator and
126
if you don't know what an emulator is an emulator is a hardware device
127
or software program in this case that allows one computer system to imitate
128
or behave like another system so an emulator would allow my computer to act like an
129
I went on to the app store, I would be able to find this ice cream roll cool launcher
130
and I can run ice cream roll cool launcher on my PC.
131
This is the exact game that that video was talking about.
132
Now I'm not going to download it because I'm a little bit scared that it could give me a virus, but I am going to watch this other person play the game.
133
All right.
134
So as you can see, this person is downloading the ice cream roll cool launcher.
135
They are in some sort of different language that isn't America, but I'm going to go ahead and skip to them opening the game.
136
on their homepage.
137
Let's see if it...
138
Oh, there you go.
139
Set as default home app.
140
Okay, so that's it right there.
141
That's the virus.
142
That's what it does.
143
Okay, so now it's...
144
Did it install other games?
145
Let's see.
146
It doesn't look like it installed any viruses yet, but you never know.
147
Um, I don't think it's done anything yet.
148
Wait, hold on.
149
Maybe I'm missing something.
150
Let me take a look at the comments.
151
Oh, look at this top comment right here.
152
I can say that the virus app is lost media now.
153
You downloaded the non virus.
154
Okay, so according to this person the virus version of this ice cream roll cool launcher is is lost media
155
but the non -virus version is available for emulators like bluestacks and the one that this guy used.
156
So if I were to play it right now, I wouldn't get a virus.
157
So that's at least, you know, a little bit of peace of mind.
158
But this next lost media app isn't a virus that will destroy your device or just a scary, disturbing app like some of the other apps we went over.
159
What if I told you that this next app is something far more dangerous that puts people's actual lives at risk?
160
Here we go.
161
Girls Around Me.
162
This app was targeted towards lonely guys, being that when downloading it, it shows you the girls that are in your vicinity, regardless if they signed up for the app at all, giving you all of their social media accounts and even their cell phone numbers.
163
Luckily, a few months after development, this app was taken down.
164
What the heck?
165
Okay, so hold on a second.
166
you all the girls that are around you and it was targeted towards lonely guys.
167
So for example, let's say I downloaded it.
168
Right?
169
I would see all the girls around me in my area.
170
But you might be wondering, okay, that's a little bit weird, but how is that creepy?
171
Well, this guy said
172
that it would show you the girls around you no matter
173
what these girls wouldn't have to sign up on the app to be shown in this app.
174
All their social medias, all their public profiles would all be shown in this app.
175
So essentially back in the day when this app wasn't lost media, some creepy person could have downloaded this app, seen a girl that was in their area that had no idea this app existed,
176
found out where that person is through their public profiles, and then boom, who knows what would have happened next.
177
Maybe they got kidnapped, maybe worse, who knows.
178
But that is very creepy.
179
I cannot believe this app was even approved to be on the app store in the first place.
180
Anyways, this next app is yet again another app that would cook your device if downloaded.
181
Except, uh, this one is far more disturbing.
182
I mean, I can already tell from the name, but let's just watch this short for more information.
183
The name of the app is called Dog666.
184
explaining viruses, part 6.
185
Here we go.
186
Dog 666.
187
So Dog 666 is Android fire and be downloaded.
188
the internet When you first open the APP you will see a loading screen the loading screen is.
189
known to take a very long time.
190
Okay.
191
And after the loading, screen is done now.
192
APP will ask for permissions.
193
When you accept a image of a dog in two buttons will appear.
194
And if you click, the red button -aid gory image of a dog will appear.
195
It's attitude, don't worry.
196
What the heck?
197
Oh my gosh, bro, why is that here?
198
Change your whole path and have access to your files, so don't download it.
199
It's literally a virus.
200
Okay, well if you guys didn't know I actually covered this app in a different video of mine
201
But essentially this app is real it is lost media, but you can I'm pretty sure you can still download the virus today Obviously don't do
202
that But it literally just plays a very loud noise once you open the app
203
and click a button and then the scary dog literally takes over your Whole device is very creepy is very disturbing.
204
Oh shoot allow dog 66 to access photos media and files on your device Look at what just happened to his phone.
205
Yo, do not allow that.
206
Why would you allow that?
207
Oh.
208
Oh, heck no. I don't know what that text says.
209
Actually, let me put this into ChatGBT and see if we can get this translated, because I'm not able to play this game myself.
210
What does this say in English, ChatGBT?
211
Your files and photos have been deleted due to an incorrect answer.
212
Ooh, that's crazy.
213
All right, let's see what happens to this guy's phone though now.
214
I mean, apparently all his files and photos were deleted, but like, the app.
215
Oh my goodness.
216
Yeah, that's pretty creepy.
217
But this next one is a little bit creepier.
218
So as a lot of you guys know, we've already researched the Talking Angela app before.
219
Editor, pop up the video.
220
The boy that went missing was seven -year -old Eli Moreno, and he went missing after installing the Talking Angela app.
221
Here is the article.
222
Thursday morning, Jasmine Moreno installed the play with.
223
She noticed the Talking Angela app was asking questions that seemed very odd.
224
The Talking Angela app asked, are your parents home?
225
And even went as far as asking, what are you wearing right now?
226
And the theory that we were debunking was
227
that Talking Angela would type creepy things to you and
228
that she had a person creepily staring at you through her eyes
229
that would supposedly act as cameras to spy on unsuspecting people playing the game.
230
As scary as all that sounds, we ended up coming to a conclusion that this was just a hoax.
231
Until recently, when I actually found some more information that could prove these theories to be potentially true.
232
Which brings us to the Lost Media game, the original Talking Angela.
233
Let's take a look.
234
This is the version of Angela with chat.
235
Here we go.
236
In this version you can talk to Angela.
237
So if you guys didn't know the new talking Angela's do not have this chat feature
238
Which is what I thought debunked that whole like oh Angela was typing creepy messages But as you can see here, in this OG talking Angela,
239
the very original one that is now lost media, you can text to her.
240
And that's where this whole entire creepy thing that was literally on the news came about.
241
The game becomes a normal talking game when you turn child mode on.
242
Yep.
243
Okay, so there's a child mode that you could turn on
244
that would remove the chat and there's a non -child mode that would keep the text chat.
245
Now with this version of the OG Talking Angela game, that's where a lot of the theories stem from, which is the hidden person in Talking Angela's eyes,
246
which you can find simply by searching up Talking Angela's eyes on Google.
247
As you can see, there's some people inside of her eyes right here.
248
And there's another one right here.
249
And this is the one that went viral.
250
These pictures right here literally somebody inside of TalkingAngela's eyes.
251
There were news stories about it, look.
252
A new story, Hidden Dangers of Talking Angela App.
253
Parents need to know settings on popular app.
254
There was also, with this OG Talking Angela app, a missing kid case.
255
It was a seven -year -old, his name was Eli Moreno, and he was missing after installing the Talking Angela app.
256
Now, I covered this in a previous video, but essentially, this app was asking very weird questions.
257
And the app was asking things like this kid's location, the type of clothes that he had on, just like trying to get to know who this person is.
258
And I guess this kid's parent went to go shower, and once he got out of the shower, he was kidnapped.
259
He was gone.
260
And the reason he got kidnapped was because of the Talking Angela app, which is very honestly creepy.
261
Now, I do want to see some OG footage, though, and see what theories there are in this OG Talking Angela app.
262
All right.
263
So this person right here, Ole Ravioli, played an older version of the app.
264
So I'm going to go ahead and play this most replayed part right here, this part and this part, and see what she does.
265
Rage baits you.
266
All right.
267
So someone else said, ask her if she's a kidnapper.
268
Ask her if she's a kidnapper.
269
Are you a kidnapper?
270
Let's see.
271
I could do with some Parisian music here.
272
What?
273
Are you into music?
274
She just said sometimes to being a kidnapper.
275
We're serious.
276
What the heck?
277
Yo, I got the same reaction as you.
278
What is going on?
279
I actually feel kind of Uneasy after that right away.
280
She's staring at me and I'm sitting here in silence Her eyes - all right, I think there's something inside talking Angela's eyes,
281
but I want to skip to this next part Which is one of the most replay parts again.
282
Let's see what she's doing this game.
283
It kind of like glitched with a Schoolgirl supervisor special it still works as talking Angela so that's kind of weird
284
All right, let's see what she does next I just took a break to charge my camera.
285
I had this game running in the background, right?
286
Tell me why.
287
She says this line, right?
288
These birds should wear helmets while flying.
289
20 minutes later, I'm not even joking.
290
She randomly says, if he's not careful, he'll end up like the dodo.
291
And I find that strange because I didn't even press anything.
292
I wasn't even talking to her.
293
And she just randomly says that.
294
It was really weird.
295
And so I decided to record right after I heard that.
296
That's it, really.
297
I mean, all I really wanted to do was look at go a little bit more at her eyes.
298
Oh, she's looking at the eyes.
299
Right?
300
So I wanted to compare it with other images online.
301
This is obviously fake, but you could see how they kind of took that background.
302
And obviously that's the same background.
303
What?
304
Who is this guy?
305
Well, it's a hoax.
306
Yeah, what the heck?
307
Okay. So, okay.
308
I guess this girl ended up going into the OG OG app and trying to test some things.
309
The eye thing, I guess, is a hoax now apparently i don't know
310
if that was ever real or not but she asked
311
if talking angela was a kidnapper and it replied sometimes
312
so that's a little bit creepy i'm not gonna lie
313
but you might be thinking how did she even get
314
that app i mean she's probably just lying right she most
315
likely got it from here this is like a website where
316
you can download different versions of the talking angela app it's
317
not an actual official version of the game it's not the official lost og version because the
318
gonna download this because I don't want a virus.
319
There's a very good chance it's a virus.
320
But those were some lost media apps.
321
And I think honestly, the creepiest and most disturbing one was probably the Girls Around Me app.
322
I know we talked about that very briefly.
323
But the fact that it had a bunch of people's information on it without people even signing up is pretty creepy.
324
But let me know which one you thought was the creepiest.
325
And if you guys enjoyed this video, make sure you click another video on screen.
326
Subscribe if you want more.
327
I'll see you in the next one.

What is the Shadowing Technique?
Shadowing is a science-backed language learning technique originally developed for professional interpreter training and popularized by polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. The method is simple but powerful: you listen to native English audio and immediately repeat it out loud — like a shadow following the speaker with just a 1–2 second delay. Unlike passive listening or grammar drills, shadowing forces your brain and mouth muscles to simultaneously process and reproduce real speech patterns. Research shows it significantly improves pronunciation accuracy, intonation, rhythm, connected speech, listening comprehension, and speaking fluency — making it one of the most effective methods for IELTS Speaking preparation and real-world English communication.
