I'm the author of Penny, and you are right: there are only two viable Solid apps at the moment, both by the same author [1]: Media Kraken [2] and Umai [3]. They're good, but pretty simple, and primarily interesting if you're really sold on the concept of Solid. And Penny works, but it's really only useful for developing Solid apps.

The BBC app mentioned above doesn't, at this time, really bring any of Solid's purported benefits (see my analysis at [4]). Inrupt's server implementation still occasionally introduces breaking changes that even the mentioned apps are having a hard time keeping up with, let alone the unmaintained ones.

So honestly, I think the best time to take another look at Solid is the moment Inrupt has a paying customer that is providing a Solid server that is usable with more than just their own apps, and an app that is usable with more than just their own server. Until that happens, it's unlikely that there will be anything that really works and that you can count on will continue working.

And to be perfectly clear, the above are my personal opinions only :)
