I'm actually kind of surprised how much the feature saved in terms of battery life on average...I would have guessed 20-25%, but the thing (at least in this situation) is saving almost 40% battery life on average over several days! Seems to be a lot smarter than the similar Android functionality that simply turns everything off but the basic phone/text pieces...

What If You Used iOS 9's Low Power Mode all the Time? ? BirchTree

The only thing is I wish you could edit low power mode to your settings, like being able to keep some things active while leaving other things off. Might make it less effective all together, but would be nice

I haven't used it yet. I'm very impressed with the battery life I'm getting right now.

It asks you now when you hit 20% battery and that's the only time I use it

Haven't even paid attention. I have it off I think.

Yeah mine is off as well but the option pops up with the twenty percent reminder which I think is cool. Gives you an option instead of just a pop up

It's funny if you enable it then start to charge your device it remains on until your device hits 80% then it shuts off automatically
