About Captivate
Captivate is an app that does one very simple thing: whenever you connect to a wifi hotspot, it tries to determine if you are behind a captive portal. If you are, it shows a notification to let you quickly open the portal login page. If your session times out, Captivate will re-show the notification when you next turn on your screen.
It automates the process of opening a browser, trying to visit a webpage, getting redirected to the portal's login, then having to re-type the URL, or worse, go back to the app that opened the browser and re-share.
For developers: Captivate sends a broadcast intent whenever the portal state changes. See more on the GitHub page: https://github.com/zach-klippenstein/captivate

I loved this app until recently when it stopped working for me. I suspect the recent update that is supposed to work with the default browser. I use a different browser from the stock Android one, but now I have to open the stock browser to sign in to networks. Waaaaah!

My captive portal problem solved. It automatically detects portal and leads you to the log in screen. Thanks

The in-app browser does not work for me, but the notification is still useful, popping up at the correct times, and the Open in Browser menu option is still convenient.
