Within Near, users can also rate the games they've played using up to three emoticons, which other users will be able to see. For example, players of ModNation Racers can leave created tracks for other players to download. The other users don't necessarily have to be actively playing anything because Near is able to show not only what the most popular games are in the area, but also "gifts" that other players have left. Users can "check in" at any location (or just at WiFi hotspots for those with the WiFi-only system) and Near will search for other users in the area up to a ten mile radius. Near is a location-based, social networking app. Once started, music will continue to play in the background while the user can go on to do other things. Music can be organized by song titles, artists, album titles, or recently played. The Music app allows the user to access and play music stored on their memory card (MP3, MP4, WAVE). The Maps app allows users to view their own current location, search for other locations, display directions, and place flags on favorite spots.

The Messaging app allows PSN members to send messages back and forth. ![]() Users can also view and compare their friends' Trophies from here. The Friends app allows PSN members to view what their friends are doing whether their friends are currently on PS3 or PS Vita. This comes in handy for users with smaller memory cards. The Content Manager app allows the user to easily transfer data (games, game saves, applications, music, photos, videos) back and forth from the Vita and a PC, Mac, or PS3. The Browser app allows users to use the Internet from their PS Vita using a 3G or WiFi connection. Apps are accessible simply by tapping the appropriate icon on the PS Vita home screen. Many of the apps also incorporate connectivity with the PlayStation 3 console including friends lists, trophies, and messaging.
