I've been hooked to my PS Vita ever since I upgraded it when my PSP broke. I've had this for about a year and I love how open source contributors and developers are continuously doing projects on the PS Vita making it still alive and popular in the gaming world.

And so I wanted to share my top 5 apps, not only are they my favorites but very important that can make your life easier with your PS Vita like transferring files and easy downloading of other apps.

Please take note that all of these apps will only work on a PS Vita version 3.60.

1. Henkaku/Molecularshell

The most important in all of the apps because if this is not active on your PS Vita, all the other apps and I mean ALL will not work on your PS Vita 3.60. This app is the reason why the homebrews/apps for this handheld have been flourishing throughout the years.

The Henkaku/Molecularshell gives the PS Vita is an upgraded content manager that can make you transfer all types of files like back up saves, code files aside from music, videos and images.

2. Vitashell

Vitashell is very similar to Henkaku/Molecularshell like they're twins but this app is much better. Aside from being a content manager, you can also change the themes of its interface, use a USB Cord for transferring files which you can't do on Henkaku/Molecularshell and it can even let PS Vita owners use a micro SD card aside from the standard memory card.

3. Vita Homebrew Browser

VHBB (Vita Homebrew Browser) is an app similar to Apple store or playstore where in gamers can choose mos,t if not all available homebrews on the PS Vita and mostly are open source projects.

You can choose from open source games like Legend of Zelda NSQ or utilities like a manga downloader.. It's very helpful and easy to use as you only need wifi for downloading certain games and apps.

4. Henkaku/Enso

This app has only 1 purpose and it fixed the problem of Henkaku/Molecularshell and that is being permanent. Henkaku/Molecularshell needed to be installed over and over again every time you'll turn off the PS Vita but with Henkaku/Enso, it will become permanent and it will remain active till you deactivate it. .

5. Adrenaline

Finally, the app that will make your PS Vita back to PSP again.. It just doesn't play PSP games but functions as if you have a PSP because you can still change settings, play music, browse the internet or change themes just like a regular PSP would do.
