While Sony's busy removing apps from the PlayStation Vita, Twitch has opted to roll out its own official client for the portable. The free download – which weighs in at 16.7MB and is available now in Europe – will allow you to watch livestreams and recorded videos, and is even compatible with the ill-fated PlayStation TV.
It's worth stressing that the app can only be used to watch videos – you won't suddenly be able to start streaming your Vita games directly from the handheld. Still, if you're someone who enjoys watching live gaming broadcasts, then now you can do so under the sheets. Just steer well clear of that new social eating tab that Twitch has introduced.

shame we can't stream from it but who knows maybe in a future update
Pretty Cool, I am still mourning the loss of the youtube app, it was my favourite way to watch it!
Neat I guess will tryout to see if I prefer looking at it over my mobiles screen.
@FullbringIchigo Highly doubt it, Vita was never designed to do such a thing.
@Jazzer94 i know but it would be nice if it could though wouldn't it
People always saying there is no love for Vita now Twitch showing how much they care.
Is this app available on the PS3? Also is Playstation Plus required to use the app? Also is it possible to stream your gameplay sessions on PS3 like you can on PS4?
@Feena What happened to the Youtube app?! 0_o
@Rukiafan7 no longer supported ;_;
@Rukiafan7 You can still watch YouTube through the browser though. Works just fine.
