I believe the way it works is they run the app through an automated test suite (virus scan and monkey testing) and if it flags anything up then it goes to a human to review.

Author here. Yeah, I suspected precisely this. They run it through an automated test, and a human reviews only if the automated test raises a flag. I guess that's OK.
