Even with heavy use, you shouldn't have to charge it three times a day.
Using an 8 AM to 8 PM cycle for example, you should have it charged and ready to go in the morning, and you should possibly have to recharge it sometime later in the day (100% to 20 - 30%). This should last you through the rest of the day, assuming you recharge it back to 100%.
The battery capacity of the iPhone 5s is 1570 mAh, which may seem small, but it isn't for the iPhone. Apple's hardware combined with iOS gives you a very efficient iPhone. The iPhone doesn't need a huge battery for good battery life and comparing battery size to an Android phone will do you no good. But unless you have the screen on all day, you should be seeing better battery life.
Also, if you have Facebook or Email set to constantly poll for updates, this could be seriously wasting battery life.
Anyway, if battery life really is that bad for you, you would almost certainly be much more happy with a G2!
