History

The app was developed by Matthew Krueger and Josh Lichti, and initially released in 2012.

Starting 2022, UDisc Pro will not be included with PDGA memberships. In late 2017, UDisc implemented an integration with Dynamic Discs Winter Marksman leagues worldwide. In June 2020, UDisc released an online version of their course directory.
