Interface quirks

First, I want to say the Android app is great, and I'm planning to upgrade to pro. But...
I notice on the Android app that the list name appears below the name of each task. This is a great feature, but it's absent in the web interface. (I realize that you can view the details for an item by mousing over the item, but that's not helpful when you've got a screenful of items to look at. In fact, lack of line-item details in general is my main gripe about the web interface.)
The consequence of the web app not showing list names is that I don't consider lists to be very useful. Thus I keep everything in my Inbox and use smartlists instead. But now when using the android app, valuable screen space is taken up by the word "Inbox" on every task!
So all I'm asking for is some consistency. Either (a) add an option to turn on line-item list names in the web app, or (b) add an option to turn OFF list names in the android app.
I realize that the android device's physical constraints place limits on a UI, and it wouldn't surprise me for the web app's UI features to be a superset of the android app features. But to have features that each supports that the other doesn't is quite surprising and makes it hard to decide what features to use as the core of one's personal organizational system.
