Well, Steamgames can not be installed or run on a mobile device. It requires a Windows, Mac OS X or Linux PC, depending on which OS the game supports.

If you are logged into Steam on PC, you should be able to do it remotely.

To install Steam games from your phone to your PC, you must have a Steam app (download it from the app Store to your phone) and also a Steam client on your PC. You need to login on both devices to the same Steam account and have the Steam software running on both devices.

The Steam app on the phone has a "Library" section, you need to access it through the menu in the upper-left corner, left side from the "Friends" list (3 horizontal lines icon). There you will see all games available in your Steam account with the possibility to install it on your PC, remotely.

Once the game is installed, you can even play remotely, from your phone. The application that allows it is called "Steam Link" and it is also easy to set up - you need to pair your Steam Link application with the PC that is online (running Steam client). When everything is setup you can even play games on you phone if you have them installed on the PC and your Internet connection is reliable.

It may sound complicated but those apps are quite simple to use. Good luck!

Ok but how do you search for downloading free games or demos ? Those are what I'm trying to download, it is only showing what games are in my current library

Resync your time on all your devices.

It works fine here. I just made another test this morning.
